South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: England's captain, Jos Buttler, expressed his disappointment following another defeat in the Champions Trophy, leaving his team without a victory in the tournament.

"It was a very disappointing performance; we fell short of our expectations today, which is truly frustrating. The pitch was decent, albeit a bit slow and two-paced. Duckett put us in a promising position, but we failed to capitalize on it. To be honest, as a collective unit, we are not achieving the desired results, which diminishes our confidence. We need a change of scenery and must see where cricket leads us," Buttler remarked after the match.

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: A couple of boundaries for Jofra Archer which is a sigh of relief for England. Jos Buttler and tailenders need to set small targets from here to keep things moving. ENG 145/7 in 28 overs

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Jofra Archer is the new man in the middle and England can't rely on him to bat for a long period. He can hit a couple of sixes but his defensive skills are questionable. ENG 133/7 in 27 overs

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: BIG LBW APPEAL BUT THE UMPIRE TURNS IT DOWN!

Mulder follows it up with two more dots, and then Root pulls him over deep square leg for a six, and then Mulder responds with a dot. The over ends with a double for Root.

ENG: 70/3 (11)

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Jansen sends it on length, on middle. Root straight drives it for a four as ENG get past 50.

ENG: 47/3 (8)

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: There's just no stopping Jansen at the moment, he's been slightly expensive but also threatening, making hay in Karachi.

Another one that slips slightly down leg, Duckett has been putting those away but is a bit early into this one and gets a leading edge. Loops kindly right back to Jansen, simplest of catches.

37/3 in 6.4 overs now, it's been all Jansen and England continue to have a torrid time. Duckett livid with himself.

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Nearly disaster for England as they get away with one there. Choose to run a risky third, and Root is struggling to get back. Ngidi didn't return to the stumps, so a lifeline for Root as Markram can't collect in time. Sloppy from both parties in this situation.

28/2 after 4, keeping the scoring up.

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: There's the second one, and it's just like the first. Short ball to Jamie Smith which gets up high, and again it's sliced right into the air, with Markram completing the catch this time.

20/2 now in 3 overs.

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: South Africa happy to let Phil Salt go after them, gambling on getting a chance early, and exactly what happens. A couple of streaky boundaries to get going for Salt, but one shot too many in the over. A last ball bouncer gets up to high, spliced straight up, and straightforward catch for Rassie van der Dussen.

9/1 after the first.

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Phil Salt and Ben Duckett walk out to open the batting, looking for a good long start here. Marco Jansen with the first over, here we go!

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025:

ENG: Phil Salt, Ben Duckett, Jamie Smith (wk), Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler (c), Liam Livingstone, Jamie Overton, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood

SA: Tristan Stubbs, Ryan Rickelton, Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram (c), Heinrich Klaasen (wk), David Miller, Wiaan Mulder, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: So Bavuma and de Zorzi both out through illness, and the Proteas a little thin at the top which means Tristan Stubbs, who bats at 3 in the Test team, will open. Meanwhile, Buttler batting first. Sounded extremely solemn at the toss.

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: nearly at the toss now, Jos Buttler in his last game as captain, and surprisingly, Aiden Markram instead of Temba Bavuma. What's happening there? Toss news coming up.

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Walters was dismissive of any sort of disadvantage to playing India in Dubai down the line.

“I think if we spend our energy worrying about a disadvantage, we spend less energy thinking about ourselves and what we need to be doing. The scheduling is the scheduling. India obviously has been in Dubai at the same venue, in the same place, and other teams haven't. Whether that turns out to be an advantage or not will remain to be seen.”

“What I do know is that we have to concentrate on what we're doing. We have to concentrate on spending all our energy thinking about how we're going to get through our next step, which is England, and then wherever that takes us from there.”

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Jos Buttler on announcing his resignation from captaincy and how he hopes to respond, if there is any relief:

“Maybe in time it will be. I think the driving emotions are still sadness and disappointment, but I'm sure in time that will pass and I can get back to really enjoying my cricket. I'll also be able to reflect on what an immense honour it is to captain your country and all the special things that come with that.”

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Toss approaches as the teams put the final finishing touches on their preparations. Thankfully, clear weather expected in Karachi, so we likely will see some cricket after a stop-start week.

If nothing else, fans will want a game as exciting as the one England provided last time out.

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: On the team selection front, the dangerous Heinrich Klaasen has been declared fit for this game, and will look to reprise his 109(67) at the Wankhede. Meanwhile, Mark Wood's injury sustained against Afghanistan means he is out of this tournament. Saqib Mahmood the player likely to replace him for England.

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: More than anything, this match perhaps serves as an opportunity to see which are the players that can continue for England in the future. Surely Duckett, Root, Rashid, and some younger players such as Brook. But what of the likes of Liam Livingstone and Phil Salt? This might be as close as it comes to judgement day in this format for them.

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Three teams have already sealed their spots in the semifinals, and South Africa have done so in all but actuality. They could lose and still qualify in second, which makes tomorrow's India vs New Zealand game to keep an eye on as well. Those teams will know from today's result who the winner of that match will play, so repercussions not just for this group, but for Group A as well.

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: In the two completed games at the National Stadium in Karachi so far, both teams have won while batting first. Runs have been slightly easier to come by batting in the first innings for both South Africa and New Zealand, and tougher for Afghanistan and Pakistan.

With an expected first innings score in excess of 310-320, that might be what the captains opt to do. England, however, have lost both while batting first and chasing this tournament. Can they find a strength?

They then bowled out England for 170, achieving a 229-run monster victory. It could have been worse, too: England were 100-8 at one stage, Gerald Coetzee taking 3 wickets but all bowlers chipping in. Only a Mark Wood and Gus Atkinson counterpunch at the very end adding some sort of meagre respectability to the score.

If you can call a 229-run loss respectable.

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: The last time these two teams faced off in an ODI was in the 2023 ODI World Cup, where South Africa piled on a humongous 399 at the Wankhede thanks to a blitzkrieg at the death by Heinrich Klaasen and Marco Jansen, putting on 150 runs in just about 12 overs.

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Old enemies who have competed in cricket for over a century now, England and South Africa have a very tense and close rivalry in this format. South Africa have beaten England on 34 occasions, while England have beaten the Proteas 30 times. There have been 5 no-results and one tie.

At the Champions Trophy, in four matches, it is an even split of two wins each.

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Jos Buttler announced that he will step down from white ball captaincy, succinctly stating he isn't sure if he is part of England's solution of the future, or just a problem in their present.

Buttler will also be aware of how his batting has suffered with the pressure of captaincy, and with some freedom and a nothing-to-lose frame of mind, we could see one of the most entertaining players of this generation really shine today.

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: One question the Proteas will have to ask is what they will do to the batting order to accomodate Klaasen back in. Rickelton's century surely makes him a set pick, so does Tony de Zorzi sit out and allow Bavuma to come to open the batting? Worth keeping an eye on what decision is made.

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: One of the world's best bowlers, against one of the world's best batters, and both leading their team in those respective departments. Root is in strong touch, having batted well both times for England, but Rabada is always up for the challenge and capable of creating havoc. Certainly the matchup to keep an eye on today.

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: There will be many questions asked internally about the state of this England team. It's not that they've been very far off finding results in this tournament, but finding the extra inch to go on and win has been missing. They will want some optimism and positivity to take away from this tournament, and a win over one of the stronger teams in the tournament could do just that.

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Regardless, Temba Bavuma's team won't be too concerned by concern of getting knocked out of this tournament. They will play the same good smart cricket, and do start off in this match as favourites to go through top.

It will be as much about match practice as anything else, with their game against Australia being a washout.

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: It's an outside chance — and with the way England is playing, an extremely unlikely outside chance — but Afghanistan still technically are in the hunt.

They would need England to beat South Africa by 207 runs, or a by an equivalent heavy margin while chasing. Is that a bet you would take? You have to wonder what the Afghanistan camp is thinking after yesterday's washout.

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: After Australia vs Afghanistan rained out yesterday, the Group B table is more or less settled as well.

Australia qualify on 4 points, while England bring up the bottom on 0. In the middle, both South Africa and Afghanistan sit on 3 points, but with the Proteas on a significantly healthier NRR.

South Africa vs England Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Welcome back to our coverage of the Champions Trophy, where today Group B will be wrapped up as South Africa take on England. Two teams on differing paths, but so much at stake for the tournament from this point forward.
